Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 33,852 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!trillions and trillions of neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Patient-Centered Neuroplasticity: Transforming Self-Concept and Engagement in Cognitive Rehabilitation After Brain Injury
Nothing here even remotely suggests they have made neuroplasticity repeatable on demand! So, fairly useless for survivors; but hey, they got published even with useless shit!
The research needed will capture the signals sent by one neuron to a
neighbor to drop their current task and take on theirs. Figuring that
out could finally make neuroplasticity repeatable on demand!
Self-concept, the perceptions and beliefs that comprise identity, is often diminished after acquired brain injury (ABI) and can limit participation, effort, and collaboration in rehabilitation. Diminished self-concept undermines rehabilitation engagement: the active, sustained participation is both necessary for meaningful recovery and a persistent clinical challenge in ABI care. Unlike improvements in mobility, neurocognitive change is often internal and difficult to recognize without structured support. This challenge is compounded by injury-related cognitive and communication impairments. Cognitive rehabilitation may be enhanced by explicitly addressing patients' beliefs about their capacity for recovery and by grounding treatment in accessible explanations of experience-dependent neuroplasticity. Patient-Centered Neuroplasticity (PCN) is a novel clinical framework that builds upon established rehabilitation theory and evidence-based cognitive rehabilitation while explicitly integrating neuroplasticity education into treatment. PCN promotes engagement by increasing patients' understanding of the brain's capacity for change, structuring interventions to make cognitive improvements observable, and reinforcing self-efficacy through clear communication of biological recovery mechanisms. Through neuroplasticity psychoeducation, a shared clinical language, and rehabilitation activities designed to make progress visible, patients begin to recognize their own capacity for recovery. This recognition creates a reinforcing cycle in which understanding promotes engagement, engagement facilitates neuroplastic change, and observable improvement strengthens a more adaptive self-concept. By making cognitive recovery understandable and personally meaningful, PCN shifts patients from passive recipients of rehabilitation to active participants in their recovery. This paper describes the PCN framework, outlines its clinical components across treatment phases, and presents a case study illustrating its application in cognitive rehabilitation following ABI.
